Ugandan Cranes defender Bevis Mugabi has been listed among the most iconic African players to grace Scottish football.

Mugabi joined Motherwell in the summer of 2019, after being released by Yeovil Town in England and he has since turned out to be a beloved one for both the fans and coaches.

The 26-year old's  initial contract was bound to expire in 2020 but the Steelmen extended his stay until the end of next season.

According to curator Daily Record, Mugabi is "the most recent players on the list, it's hard to say if the 26-year-old will be treated with the legendary status of others in years to come."

Mugabi shares spots on the list with Victor Wanyama who played for Celtic, Sofien Moussa and Prince Buaben at Dundee, Arnaud Djoum at Hearts, Efe Ambrose at Hibernian among so many others.

The Ugandan received his first call up to the national team for a friendly against Kenya then a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Comoros.

He then made his international debut for Uganda on 24 March 2018 in their 3–1 friendly victory over São Tomé and Príncipe.
